[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans

[Louis Lince]

I can only echo listmate Sue Fischer's comments. I have visited New Orleans 
every year for the last 25 years and still find good music. Not only OKOM 
but Cajun, Zydeco, R&B (in the old sense). I agree with John Farrell about 
the lack of recognition of various spots, but this is being rectified. 
Cosima Mattassa's old studio has a plaque, as does the Royal Street 
birthplace of Danny Barker, and the Algiers walkway of fame does have a 
series of named pioneers of the music.

One does have to take advice from the locals (In John's case it was the 
wonderful Steve Pistorius)  Just go visit with open ears and eyes.
